A Message From Our Race Director

We had a tremendous opening yesterday for the inaugural 2018 National Women’s Half Marathon & 8K coming next April to our Nation’s Capital! We understand that women seek events to call their own while competing with their peers, and this only confirms what we have learned at many of our events across the country!

We want to thank the 3,079 women that registered in the initial 14 hours from 48 states and 9 foreign countries! We could not be more excited with the overwhelming positive responses yesterday from the minute registration opened into the evening.

There are still a number of great slots available for this event as we purposely designed the entry fee pricing allocation to be highly competitive in this market and region in order to offer women an affordable option to run with us.
